I also think that if this was a group buy with $30 lights with free shipping, Lumintop probably wouldn’t be SO hesitant to resend a light that they thought was missing. Unfortunately these GT lights are very expensive and the shipping is also very expensive so they ARE hesitant to send out replacements until they can confirm it’s lost. I think we can all understand this. It’s quite possible some packages are just delayed.
As TA mentioned, the shipping process from China is very convoluted with them having to use forwarding companies and such. I certainly don’t understand it.
I still have faith that if the package trace shows its truly missing and not just delayed, Lumintop will send out a replacement light. They are not out to screw anyone over and they care about their customers.
I just wish the time frames were shorter and the communication better. :+1:
Yes, if the package trace comes back as a lost package they will reship them for sure (or in a rare case possibly refund if it is determined that shipping to that country is not possible).
They have already lost several thousand dollars on returned shipments, damaged / lost lights and the entire project at this point is still at a net loss for lumintop (with the latest sales it is possible they are just no breaking even).
It is pretty easy to understand why they are not just going to toss lights in the mail. That said, it is getting to the point of it being long enough for many of these people and they just need to accept they are lost and reship.
It is unknown at this point, in the past the packages were delivered before Neal even got the tracking numbers back through all the links int he chain.
Today I got the short tube for the BLF GT. ( bought separately )
Two sealing rings are mounted ! :+1:
She was sent from Germany.
Thank you Neal & M4D M4X & Texas_Ace and all the Users who have given their time for this project, also The Miller not forgotten. :+1:
I have had a few requests for Anduril on the MT09R’s I have been modding but I have never tried it myself yet. Is there a setup in the firmware for 2s and 4S lights? I think I am using the Q8 pinout, whatever the default FET+1 pinout in narsil is.
I’m confused on how the shipping thing works, once I get my pm I pay the fee then what are the next steps? I’d appreciate the help (I’m number 1508 so I should be in the next batch)
Once you get your PM it will give you all the instructions. It will basically give you the website and the password to the order page. Then you can add the items you want into your cart, such as the GT and maybe the carry bag or the short battery tube or batteries, etc… Then the payment is done through PayPal.
Since you are in the US it will automatically be shipped through DHL with no extra shipping fees. So once it leaves lumintop you would get it within 3 to 5 days most likely. (This is what it was in previous US orders)
I am guessing you did not watch the video in post #1? If you go to 1:35 you can see the ordering and checkout process.
They’re a bit ridiculous though, at least inside of a city where there simply isn’t enough room for a mile-long beam. So here’s another shot of the twins next to some more practical lights:
I knew they were big, but holy cow, thats absurd LOL.
Hoping to go up on Skyline Pkwy by Enger tower and light up the grain elevators by the harbor when it shows up
30Q’s will be more than enough, but 35E seem to be the recommended cell for longer run time. This light doesn’t need the high amp supply as the light is only drawing 2.5A.
